Yoga Journal LIVE! at Kripalu Workshop Schedule Yoga Journal LIVE! at Kripalu Workshop Schedule FRIDAY, MAY 13 7:30–9:00 pm Keynote Address with Meditation Yoga’s Ultimate Path to Success and Empowerment: Tradition vs. Innovation Rod Stryker Can yoga truly provide access to the heights of sublime experience? If so, how do you ensure that you or your students experience its depths and potential? On one hand, the authentic teachings of yoga have thrived from time immemorial thanks entirely to the unique relationship between master and student––an authentic guide illuminating otherwise uncharted terrain. On the other hand, in today’s world, innovation, not discipleship, is the leading edge of the popularization of yoga. So, where does that leave one desiring to reach the depths and most sacred goals in yoga? Skillfully navigating these two realities––ancient tradition and modern interpretation––is the key to unlocking yoga’s potential as the path to ultimate freedom and fulfillment. Talk followed by a meditation. SATURDAY, MAY 14 8:30–10:00 am [choose one] Tracking Transformation [SAT-AM-01] Ana Forrest What if you were able to track the process of transformation? This means becoming aware—during the actual process—of all the things that are happening to you during a transformational moment. In this workshop, you create a heightened sense of awareness through breath and asanas to become aware of the quality of feelings that live inside. Tracking what is happening in your yoga poses can be applied to tracking and guiding transformation in other parts of your life. Therapeutic Yoga for Feet, Knees, and Hips [SAT-AM-02] Nicki Doane and Eddie Modestini Just as a house cannot stand tall without a firm foundation, so the human body cannot stand tall and strong without healthy, strong feet and legs. Explore the general anatomy of the feet, knees, and hips and learn postures that open these areas safely and effectively. This work is absolutely essential for all yoga teachers. Wave Rider: Flowing Through the Six Qualities of Consciousness [SAT-AM-03] Coby Kozlowski Interactive Lecture and Movement Every moment is a bold opportunity to align yourself with the intelligence of nature, known as the qualities of consciousness; and often when we don’t, we struggle. It’s time to awaken the internal wave rider—the part of us that knows how to flow with these different currents of life. An engaging mixture of lecture and movement, this workshop offers empowering yogic wisdom that enables you to take hold and take charge of your own existence. Sun Vinyasa: Awakening the Vital Force [SAT-AM-04] Katie Silcox Yoga/Vinyasa Sun practices lead to the development and expansion of prana, orlife force energy and vital intelligence. These solar practices can awaken higher perception, enlivening your capacity to “see” the invisible and access Shakti, or boundless power. This workshop includes asana, lecture, and breath work. 10:30 am–12:00 pm [choose one] The Shoulder Girdle Mantra: Unlocking the Power of the Upper Body [SAT-AM-05] Maty Ezraty Strong shoulders and proper alignment are essential to a healthy vinyasa flow practice. Focusing on key poses such as chaturanga, upward-facing dog, and downward-facing dog, this workshop examines common patterns of misalignment in the shoulders and imprints strong alignment habits that protect the shoulders from injury. Creating a solid new foundation, you learn powerful mini-sequences you can do every day to strengthen and open your shoulder girdle, deepen your sun salutations, and revolutionize your entire practice. Maya Yoga Lunges [SAT-AM-06] Nicki Doane and Eddie Modestini Discover how Maya Yoga lunges are some of the most effective poses to open the hips. With special attention to cultivating awareness in the legs and feet, you learn to ground more deeply to the earth, allowing you to release tension in your hips without risk to the knees. The information learned in this workshop can be applied to standing poses, as well. Using the lunges of Maya Yoga to warm the body and open the hips, this workshop is a vinyasa class that includes Suryanamaskar A, B, and C. Assisting the Forrest Yoga Basic Moves [SAT-AM-07] Erica Mather Forrest Yoga asana is locally founded on eight basic moves. In this hands-on-assisting workshop you learn the basic moves, how to assist all of them in relevant postures, and discover how using them in your classes can ground and empower your teaching, as well as your assisting. Svatantrya: The Flow of Absolute Freedom[SAT-AM-08] Coby Kozlowski Lecture/Movement In this workshop, experience contemporary perspectives on time-honored yoga philosophy—the wisdom of the sacred text Radiance Sutras—and the dynamic movement of life force itself. Become acquainted with the potency of stillness and aliveness of movement, the dance between peace and passion, and expand into your deepest understanding of what freedom is, from the inside out. This workshop celebrates your body’s inherent wisdom, so you can savor each new moment as it arises with fresh possibilities and vibrant confidence. Forest Bathing [SAT-AM-09] Mark Roule Lecture/Movement The practice of Forest Bathing, or Shinrin-Yoku, was developed in Japan in the 1980s as a way for city-dwellers to restore balance to body, mind, and spirit. Research has shown that forests expose walkers to naturally occurring chemicals called phytoncides—organic compounds given off by plants—which results in reduced blood pressure and cortisol levels and improved immune function. Explore the forest around Kripalu, and experience the nourishment of your senses and soul with a symphony of engaging outdoor stimulus brilliantly designed to root you in the present moment. 12:00–1:00 pm Kripalu YogaDance® with Toni Bergins 1:45–3:45 pm [choose one] Break Your Heart No Longer: Reclaim Your Divine Seat [SAT-PM-01] Todd Norian Are you overly critical of yourself and others? Do you find that in spite of your best efforts, you self-sabotage? Sourced from the deepest teachings of Swami Kripalu, learn how to release self-judgment and reclaim your divine heritage. Enjoy an inspiring flow of asanas guided with precise alignment of body, mind, and heart, taking you to the threshold of sublime states of meditative movement guided from within. Kinesthetic Connection [SAT-PM-02] Ana Forrest Come learn and practice the power of intent combined with running energy. This hands-on assists workshop emphasizes incorporating what Ana calls Kinesthetic Connection. Through the hands-on assists, as a teacher, you generate and feel the energy within yourself while helping your student create and feel that same energy. The student empaths what the teacher is feeling, and there is cocreation between the student and teacher in the hands-on assist. This workshop consists of a 30-minute asana practice to warm up everyone’s bodies followed by 1.5 hours of hands-on assists. Sattwa Vinyasa and the Principles of Enlightened Practice [SAT-PM-03] Rod Stryker The teaching of the Gunas––the three essential attributes or qualities of the natural world––may well be the yogic tradition’s most essential teaching on mastering both our inner and outer universe. Of the three, Sattwa is the quality of clarity and balance that leads to ultimate freedom and revelation––the recognition of Spirit’s light. Through lecture and practice, this workshop focuses on the yogic approach to higher stages of practice, allowing you to unlock awareness that leads to the vision and the power of soul. In addition to asana, bandha, and mudra, this workshop also includes chanting and kriya and tantric meditation techniques. Unwind, Strengthen, and Protect the Lower Back [SAT-PM-04] Maty Ezraty Having a pain-free, healthy lower back is paramount not only to a strong yoga practice, but to a healthy lifestyle. In this workshop, you focus on the key principles of alignment for a healthy lower back and learn how to heal, strengthen, and protect this area of the body using a variety of poses and modifications including, standing poses, simple backbends, and seated, and supine poses. Come learn effective ways to address this common issue with students at every level. 4:15–5:45 pm [choose one] Awaken Your Heart Through Deep Sadhana [SAT-PM-06] Todd Norian Sadhana means spiritual practice. Your body and mind are infused with the subtle energy of spirit and is the crystallization of the divine’s desire to know itself. During this workshop, you access this energy and engage with it in ways that open the doorway to “heaven on earth”. Practice a sequence of esoteric and deeply rejuvenating kriyas, mudras, pranayamas, mantras, asanas, and meditation, ending with a sublime five elements savasana. Unshielding [SAT-PM-07] Erica Mather Shielding is a coping mechanism used to handle the difficulties and emotional challenges of life. But shielding also locks you within the barriers you have created. Over time, these shields morph from protection into cages— exoskeletons. In this asana workshop, Erica guides you to use your breath, attention, and asana to alchemize a change in your shields. You don’t have to take them down entirely—just learn how to meld them and change them so that you can grow. Vata-Balancing Yoga: Stretch, Rest, and Nourish with Ayurveda [SAT-PM-08] Larissa Hall Carlson Have continuous traveling and teaching agitated your vata dosha and left you feeling exhausted? Dive into a juicy, full-body yoga journey designed to relax the body, soothe the nerves, and restore tranquility to the mind. Harmonize vata with a nourishing asana sequence, lulling pranayama, and mindfulness meditation, all enveloped in educational Ayurvedic theory. Prioritize self-care and discover how much more energy, clarity, and motivation you can have to share teachings with your students.

  • Joy of Transitions Cover Page.Pages
    The Joy of Transitions Debbi Murphy, !PhD, ERYT 500 THE WAVE! David Whyte You arrived as a ripple of change emanating from an original, unstoppable, memory, a then made now, entirely yourself, found now in the world, now as creator of that world. You were a signature written in sand taken by the ocean and scattered to another wave form, your disappearance only made more beautiful by the everyday arrival of a tide where my voice can still join yours, hungering for the fall of water, so that walking the reflected sand, I set myself to learn by your going, knowing across death’s wide ocean, the ultimate parallel to friendship. The idea that we are ever not in movement is an illusion,! one of the veils of maya (illusion). In fact, the image we hold is a kind of snapshot in a never-ending progression of movement, extending infinitely forward & backward in time. As long as we are alive, we are never actually still. ! ~ Lesley Kaminoff, Yoga Anatomy! "1 “The Goddess Never-Not-Broken promises that the greatest magic is in the transformative moments: the heartbreak, the uncertainties, the pause before we hit the ground... and what we do with ourselves after we land. In our brokenness, we are unlimited” ~ JC Peters Truly, if you met this Goddess on the street, your heart would pound and you'd break into a cold sweat: "What's coming for me now?!” She’s not the goddess you’d want to take home to your mother.! It's! normal to fear and resist change, but Akhilandeshvari whispers to us also of freedom — liberation from the past, from habits and wounds, from stifling routines, from everything that once was good but has become a burden or a prison.

INTRODUCTION PAGE 1 THE two Sanskrit works here translated---Ṣat-cakra-nirūpaṇa (" Description of the Six Centres, or Cakras") and Pādukāpañcaka (" Fivefold footstool ")-deal with a particular form of Tantrik Yoga named Kuṇḍalinī -Yoga or, as some works call it, Bhūta-śuddhi, These names refer to the Kuṇḍalinī-Śakti, or Supreme Power in the human body by the arousing of which the Yoga is achieved, and to the purification of the Elements of the body (Bhūta-śuddhi) which takes place upon that event. This Yoga is effected by a process technically known as Ṣat-cakra-bheda, or piercing of the Six Centres or Regions (Cakra) or Lotuses (Padma) of the body (which the work describes) by the agency of Kuṇḍalinī- Sakti, which, in order to give it an English name, I have here called the Serpent Power.1 Kuṇḍala means coiled. The power is the Goddess (Devī) Kuṇḍalinī, or that which is coiled; for Her form is that of a coiled and sleeping serpent in the lowest bodily centre, at the base of the spinal column, until by the means described She is aroused in that Yoga which is named after Her.

SHIVANANDANAGAR—249 192 Distt. Tehri-Garhwal, Uttaranchal, Himalayas, India. OM Dedicated to all selfless, motiveless, disinterested workers of the world who are struggling hard to get knowledge of the Self by purifying their minds, by getting Chitta Suddhi through Nishkama Karma Yoga OM PUBLISHERS’ NOTE The nectar-like teachings of His Holiness Sri Swami Sivananda Saraswati, the incomparable saint of the Himalayas, famous in song and legend, are too well-known to the intelligent public as well as to the earnest aspirant of knowledge Divine. Their aim and object is nothing but emancipation from the wheel of births and deaths through absorption of the Jiva with the supreme Soul. Now, this emancipation can be had only through right knowledge. It is an undisputed fact that it is almost a Herculean task for the man in the street, blinded as he is by worldly desires of diverse kinds, to forge his way to realisation of God. Not only is it his short-sightedness that stands in the way but innumerable other difficulties and obstacles hamper the progress onward towards the goal. He is utterly helpless until someone who has successfully trodden the path, comes to his aid or rescue, takes him by the hand, leads him safely through the inextricable traps and pitfalls of worldly temptation and desires, and finally brings him to his destination which is the crowning glory of the be-all and end-all of life, where all suffering ceases and all quest comes to an end.

Sound, created in the process of speech, and formed through reciting Sanskrit words, is vital in all religious aspects within Kashmir Śaivism- in prayer, ritual and meditation. Even more specifically, the characters that make up the religious texts themselves are derived from sacred representations of deities and also represent different vibrational energies in the body, and therefore when correctly recited, are vehicles to instantaneous liberation. According to Kashmir Śaivite philosophy, the “Divine Consciousness is identical with the Supreme Word (para vak), and hence every letter or word is derived from and ultimately inseparable from this Consciousness”. 2 The “divine consciousness” within Kashmir Śaivism’s cosmological framework is the absolute form of god, which is immanently monistic.
